Description
Match the hose and the port separately
This black plastic elbow joins a 25mm barbed hosetail to a ¾-inch BSP male thread, with a fixed 90° bend between them.
Use it to bring suitable hose away from a matching threaded connection on pond equipment or fittings. Check both ends and the space around the port before ordering.
One elbow supplied. Hose, clips and pump are separate.
One fitting, two checks
The hose size does not determine the thread you need.
Check the female port
The threaded end is ¾-inch BSP male. Confirm a compatible female connection and its sealing requirements. A 25mm hose outlet or a 1-inch BSP port is a different connection.
Check the hose bore
The ribbed end is a 25mm hosetail. Match the hose’s internal bore and wall profile to that fitting. Its outside diameter includes the wall, so it is not the measurement to match.
Check the route
Leave room for assembly and a gradual hose curve beyond the barb. Keep the hose supported, avoid pulling on the threaded body, and retain access to inspect both joints.
Fit, secure and inspect
Follow the equipment’s connection instructions.
Use the required seal at the threaded joint and suitable hose securing parts where needed. Tighten plastic fittings with care; an elbow should not be forced into position or used to support an unsupported hose run.
Check the completed joints with water before concealing the connection. If replacing another elbow, compare its thread specification and hose size as well as its shape.
Choosing the correct elbow
Why does this have 25mm and ¾-inch sizes?
The 25mm size identifies the barbed hose connection; ¾-inch BSP identifies the male thread. They are separate sizing conventions, not two ways of measuring the same end. Choose suitable 25mm-bore hose for the hosetail and a compatible ¾-inch BSP female port for the thread. Check the connection profile and sealing method in your equipment instructions.
Is this the same as the 25mm elbow with a 1-inch BSP thread?
No. Both have a 25mm hosetail, but the threaded ends are different. This version is ¾-inch BSP male. The 1-inch BSP version needs a different female port, so they should not be chosen interchangeably. Read the thread specification on the equipment or fitting you are connecting to, rather than selecting from the hose diameter alone.
Can the elbow turn freely once installed?
No. The 90° elbow has a fixed body, rather than a swivel joint. Plan the final hose direction before assembly and follow the port’s sealing and tightening instructions. Do not use the hose as a lever or force the plastic thread further simply to obtain an angle. Leave space for the hose to curve gently beyond the fitting.
Does the connector include hose clips or a pump?
No. One elbow connector is supplied. Hose, hose clips and pump are separate. The neutral description image illustrates the elbow style rather than providing measured dimensions. Match the written 25mm hosetail and ¾-inch BSP male specifications, use appropriate securing and sealing parts where required, and inspect both joints with water after assembly.

What is BSP?
What is BSP thread size?
BSP (British Standard Pipe) is a nominal pipe-thread size, not a direct measurement of a fitting’s bore or outside diameter. For example, a ½-inch BSP male thread measures about 21mm across its outer thread crests.
These figures are approximate outside diameters of male BSP threads, to help identify the nominal size. They are not inch-to-millimetre unit conversions:
- 3/8" BSP → 16.66 mm
- 1/2" BSP → 20.95 mm
- 3/4" BSP → 26.44 mm
- 1" BSP → 33.25 mm
- 1.25" BSP → 41.91 mm
- 1.5" BSP → 47.80 mm
- 2" BSP → 59.61 mm
- 3" BSP → 87.88 mm
- 4" BSP → 113.03 mm
All our BSP threads are parallel (BSPP, to ISO 228), not tapered.
Measure across the outside of a male thread, then check its pitch and whether it is parallel or tapered. Diameter alone does not confirm compatibility. Check the product’s stated thread specification before connecting.
